I love chocolate. Like LOVE LOVE LOVE chocolate. I’ve met Krsna the creative genius behind BASIK Chocolates on many occasions this year and every time he excites me with his passion and love for delicious, honest and tasty AF food! He also brings me delicious, hand crafted chocolates that are #AnythingButBasik… so it’s no secret that I adore catching up with him to hear all about his delicious new creations. Continue Reading

You can’t hide from live theatre. You can’t pause the show, or look on your phone, or be distracted by life. Theatre is in your face. It is live; breathing and alive.

Some pieces of theatre stick like glue to your memory. They get under your skin and almost crawl around; unable to get out, permanently living inside all of your cells. The Hamlet Apocalypse by The Danger Ensemble has well and truly got inside my head, under my skin and inside every single one of my cells! I’ve literally not been able to stop thinking about the performance since Friday night! Continue Reading

Here at BT we love breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner… well all things food related really! So we were more than excited to check out one of New Farms newest additions.

Miss Jones has arrived and did we fall head over heels in love with it? Yes, yes we did! Was it the that delicious smashed avo on toast (nothing beats a classic) with those bright green, fresh peas on top? Or maybe the breakfast burger? Or the coffee? Or the kick-ass dusty pink colour pops inside? The interior (& exterior) was just darling; talk about #Instaworthy!! Continue Reading

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING! Queensland’s premier food and wine festival ‘Regional Flavours’ is back by popular demand and boy do they have a good line-up this year.
This weekend, July 15-16 from 10am to 5pm in South Banks Parklands is a festival you don’t want to miss out on. Regional Flavours is a Queensland icon as is draws focus to the regions quality food, beer, and wine……. Need we say more?

The last time I was in Italy was nearly ten years ago. While that actually seems like a lifetime ago; I feel that spending five weeks in the country makes me an expert. Ok not an ‘expert-expert’ but more like a I-have-actually-been-to-Italy-so-I-can-write-about-Italian-food expert #youfeelme? So this brings me to Prova Pizzeria.

Before discovering Inika I was pretty anti-makeup. Personally, I didn’t like the way it made my skin feel and all the hidden nasties, as well as the ethical damage on animals and the environment from certain beauty brands. Therefore I never ever wore it. I decided enough was enough and made the decision to ditch every single beauty product that I own and replace it all with organic, vegan products. This decision was influenced by a number of things – wanting to stop using products that tested on animals, negatively impacted on the environment and overall wanting to use products that were going to benefit my skin. In the process, I uncovered Inika Organic Cosmetics and my makeup routine went from non-existent to something I look forward to!

Is it just us or is old mate Spring calling our names…then comes the endless Brissy Summer. We could not be more excited for the heat. But, a Spring clean is a fun time and a way to feel fresh and new! I wouldn’t call myself an interior designer of any sense of the imagination but there are ways to make you feel like one. With Matt Blatt, it is oh so tempting and oh so easy to change the look of room with one simple or crazy piece.

There’s no denying that us Brisbane girls take our swimwear seriously. These few short weeks of winter certainly aren’t enough to dampen our spirits. Regardless of when our bodies finally make their reappearance after winter hibernation, you can be assured that we’ll be doing so in style in some AlcieMay gear.

We are always trying to update our mind and stomach, and this post is no exception. We know you loved our post on the best American food in Brisbane from a couple of years ago, so we pulled it from the archives, gave it a fresh update and added a bunch of new restaurants to help you introduce your sheltered Australian palette to the holy grail of American foods. American food is addictive, growin’ and stickin’ around Brisbane and sometimes it can even stick to your hips for- days, weeks and months after that juicy pulled pork slider.

Saturday morning is always excercise then brekky with the girls!

Best local coffee joint?

I get my coffee every morning from Cocobliss in South Brisbane, the only place I have found that offers coconut milk!

My most frequented Brisbane eat would probably be Sushi Kotobuki in East Brisbane (best sushi in Brisbane) followed closely by Sugo Mi in Oxford St (best Pizza in Brisbane).

What is the most worn or precious item in your wardrobe?

My most worn item would probably be my Zara leather jacket and my most precious would be my leopard print Senso’s!

Best fashion go-to in Brisbane?

Beginning Boutique of course 😉 But if I’m up for a day at the shops I will usually hit up Indooroopilly because of the wide range of stores!

If you had a long weekend to scoot away somewhere, where would you head?

Byron Bay for sure! I have family that live there so I don’t have to worry about accommodation and can just enjoy the beach and bars!
